For those of you worried about the bad reviews of glitches, I can report that I have had 0 issues with mine since purchasing.
For those of you who are hesitant to switch from Apple to Windows, I would say it's worth it with a few caveats. First, I purchased this because I am an amateur photographer and like to do my edits wherever I am (I don't like having to sit in my office and work on my desktop). This device is incredibly portable and the touch screen is incredible for performing edits. I was torn between this, an iPad Pro, or a MacBook. After using the stylus on a photo edit, I found it along with touch interface to be a huge sell for me which the Surface performs perfectly. My only complaint is that it is VERY reflective and difficult to see in daylight. However, if you're buying this as a pure Laptop, to be honest, there are probably better deals out there for less money that aren't detachable.
To be honest, if Apple made a detachable I probably would have bought it. OSX is just what I'm familiar with. However, I will say that Windows 10 is INCREDIBLE compared to the windows 7 machines I've used. The tiles are awesome (especially in tablet mode), and the start menu is vastly improved. However, this is a Windows machine, so it is glitchy compared to OSX. I'm not trying to make an "Apple is better than WIndows" statement here, just saying that my OSX desktop is far more stable. However, this is still a great machine with a great OS even with the occasional hiccup.
Last, I would say that the marketing for this device is a little "off" in my opinion. This is not a "tablet" that can replace your laptop. Its a laptop that functions pretty well as a tablet. In tablet mode this does most things my iPad could and then some (Like still run full desktop apps, which is amazing). However, there are things a tablet does that this cannot. For instance, iPad's (and similar) can start playing music and then turn off while still playing music. There are ways to do this on a Surface as well, but its not as easy as just clicking the power button. If you're looking for a device that is an exact replacement for a tablet in all ways while still running desktop software, this isn't it (and frankly I'm not sure there is a solution to that currently). If, like me, you wanted to take your desktop software on the go and be able to use touch interface while also being able to utilize it as a tablet in a pinch, you'll be very happy with a Surface Pro 4.
Since purchasing this I've gotten rid of my iPad all together (I was a HUGE iPad user at home). My only regret is losing the interconnectivity that Apple does so well with handoff. However, if you're an android user and have Pushbullet you wont miss a thing.
Regardless of the occasional hiccup, this is a great machine and I would highly recommend it!
I'll explain why I chose the Surface Pro 4, but first, a quick about me. I am a college student majoring in EECS and I commute 4 hours a day by bus so having a light backpack is important to me.
The S.Book is almost two times heavier than the SP4. It packs much more computing power than the SP4, but as an EECS major, I don't need the extra power that the S.Book has. I don't plan to play any intensive games or render/animate things so the SP4 fits my needs better. The S.Book also has a $400 higher price tag ($270 if you get the Type Cover for the SP4) that I'm not willing to pay for unneeded performance. I haven't tried the S.Book's keyboard, but the SP4's keyboard feels great to type on and other reviewers have said both keyboards are amazing. Reading textbooks or other PDF's feels much more natural with the SP4's tablet form. The S.Book without the keyboard only has a battery life of 3 hours, and although it can be used with the keyboard 'wrapped' around the back, I think that it'll only be a hassle for me to deal with. I'd rather not deal with having to detach the S.Book every time I want to use it in tablet mode. If you plan to render/animate things you should probably consider going with the Surface Book. Otherwise, I highly recommend the Surface Pro 4 for doing everyday/light to medium tasks.
Now onto the actual Surface Pro 4 Review.
I love the SP4. In the past year, I've owned an iPad Air, MacBook Pro, and the Razer Blade 2015. The SP4 fits my needs the best by far.
The SP4 replaces both my textbooks and notebooks. For me, this is a big deal because I no longer have to carry around my notebooks, textbooks, and supplemental writing materials (highlighters, etc). The Surface Pen tips can be replaced with other pen tips to change the writing "feedback" feeling but the stock pen tip feels great. OneNote keeps all my notes organized and being able to access them from any device is incredibly convenient. Using the Surface Pen for writing on textbooks and PDF's is also very useful.
I've been getting ~7-9 hours of battery life on the SP4 which is more than enough to get me through a school day. The screen is not too small like the iPad, neither is it bulky like a laptop. The screen resolution is high and text/videos are crisp and easy to read/watch. The magnet on the left side of the SP4 is surprising strong and holds the Surface Pen well. The magnet on the right side is significantly weaker (maybe because all the I/O ports are on this side) but it can hold the pen well. The kickstand works perfectly and stays in the position I set it to. The SP4 Type Cover feels great and protects your screen when you aren't using it.
Gaming shouldn't be the main reason you buy the SP4, but it could run some games if you decide to do so. I did try running StarCraft II and Heroes of the Storm and the SP4 handled it pretty well. I wouldn't even bother trying to run more demanding games such as GTAV on the SP4. That being said, the gaming experience was rather unpleasant. You should consider the Surface Book if you plan to game on-the-go frequently.
Software-wise, I don't have much to comment on. It looks and performs exactly like Windows 10 should on a normal desktop or laptop. I've never used the Microsoft Store and don't intend to so I don't know much about the apps that are available on the SP4.
The only con I found with this device is the fact that it only has a single USB port. It's inconvenient when I'm using the SP4 with a mouse and I need to use my flash drive. I haven't had any overheating issues and I can't find any issues with the build quality.
In closing, I don't think anyone else offers the performance and quality that the Surface Pro 4 has in the same lightweight and thin chassis. It is incredibly versatile and it has replaced many heavy and cumbersome objects in my bag.
I'll update this review as I continue to use the SP4. Feel free to leave questions/comments and I will try my best to answer them.
